The course is for independent study by jail officers who must learn that, in addition to their rountine tasks, they must be prepared to be well-trained, responsible professionals, making important decisions and avoiding the mistakes and disproven beliefs of the past. The jail administrator must continually wrestle with the problems of conflicting priorities, limited funds, deficient facilities, and a limited, often ill-trained jail staff; he must find ways to develop his jail as a progressive institution sensitive to the community's needs. Book 5 deals with the legal problems faced by the jail administrator. While the jail administrator is responsible to the community for maintaining the security of his institution, he must also see that security considerations do not deprive prisoners of their rights. Two-thirds of the document was developed to inform jail administrators of their legal responsibilities to their prisoners and to serve as a guideline in making important policy decisions which affect their prisoners. One-third of the document is a discussion of these areas of "administrative discretion" which require carefully documented rules and procedures: mail to public officials, attorney-client relationship, legal resources material, inmate drafting of legal documents, law school programs, disciplinary matters, restrictions of religious practice, and rights of prisoners suspected of crime in jail.
